David Marshall Announced As Walter Brown Award Semifinalist

Feb 03, 2009

Quinnipiac
University men's ice hockey senior David Marshall (Buffalo, Minn.)
has been named one of 16 semifinalists for the 57th Walter Brown
Award, presented by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston. The award
is given to the best American-born Division I college hockey player
in New England. The Gridiron Club will announce the finalists for
the award in March, following league playoffs and before the start
of the NCAA Tournament.

Marshall
is one of four players from ECAC Hockey named as a semifinalist.
Other ECAC Hockey players named as semifinalists include Yale's
Sean Backman, Dartmouth's Adam Estoclet and Brown's Dan
Rosen.

The
senior wing was the first ECAC Hockey player this season to reach
double figures in goals and assists and the quickest Division I
hockey player to do so, reaching the mark in fewer than 19 games.
Through 26 games this season, Marshall has scored 15 goals while
assisting on 18 more. He currently ranks ninth nationally in points
per game (1.27) and 16th in goals per game (0.58).

Before
being held scoreless in his last outing, Marshall had scored a goal
or assisted on in 18 consecutive games, a Quinnipiac men's ice
hockey record. In a 4-2 win over No. 11 Air Force on Dec. 30 in the
Championship Game of the Toyota UConn Hockey Classic, Marshall
became the 28th player in Quinnipiac history to score 100 points
and the 10th player in Quinnipiac history to score 60 goals.
Marshall has scored 66 goals in his career, one shy of the
Quinnipiac Division I record.
